A military-to-civilian resume builder that helps transitioning service members translate rank, MOS / AFSC / rating codes, and military achievements into civilian-readable skills and accomplishments. You fill a structured form, a built-in translator flags military jargon and suggests plain-language equivalents, and a clean, ATS-friendly resume builds live beside it.
How it works
Civilian recruiters and applicant-tracking systems do not parse military acronyms, so the builder foregrounds civilian meaning. A rank-to-leadership helper maps your pay grade to the scope it represents — a squad-leading NCO becomes a Team Leader managing personnel and equipment value; a senior NCO or officer becomes an Operations or Department Manager. A jargon translator scans your text for common terms (NCOIC, OPTEMPO, PCS, billet, AOR) and offers civilian equivalents. You name your civilian-equivalent title while keeping the original code in parentheses for verification against your DD-214. A repeatable experience section pairs each posting with quantified outcomes — people led, equipment value, readiness rates — and education, clearances, and awards close it out.
The right panel re-renders as you type. Your draft auto-saves to local storage, and Copy text / Download .txt export a clean, parseable file.
Tips
Translate every code and acronym: state the civilian function first, the military code second. Quantify leadership with people and dollar figures. Convert awards into the result that earned them. Mirror the language of the civilian job advert so keyword filters match you, and list any active security clearance prominently — it is a hiring accelerator.
Example
A former Army Sergeant (MOS 92Y, Unit Supply Specialist) might present as a Supply Chain / Logistics Coordinator who managed $4.2M in equipment, led a 12-person team, and maintained 99% inventory accuracy — with the MOS noted in parentheses for verification. The result reads as a results-focused operations professional rather than an untranslated military record.
